    Lowlifes

    ★★★½

    Starts off par for the course for a Tubi Original — as a cheap, extremely generic slasher flick using the pretty common hillbilly theme. But give it some time and it actually evolves into something better. It's still a goofy B-movie, but the humor and twists turn this into a fun ride.

  • Boy Kills World

    Boy Kills World

    ★★★★½

    A very impressive directorial debut. A cartoonish, over-the-top action flick with flair and humor. It's very kinetic, gory, and has a story that twists in surprising ways. One of the most unique action films in ages with a no-holds-barred approach that commands attention.

    Unforgiven

    ★★★★½

    A subversion of the classic western, Unforgiven takes that American myth and reconstructs it as a rough tale of damaged characters with difficult pasts. This is cleverly represented by the biographer character who writes his tales of the old west as the heroic ideal while being privy to the gritty reality. Aside from the layered characterizations, this really is standardly plotted, but very well made with great tension, acting, and some humor.

  • The Case of the Scorpion's Tail

    The Case of the Scorpion's Tail

    ★★★½

    A fairly standard but enjoyable giallo. There's decent acting, a story that actually makes sense, and a great score. While not the most stylistically impressive, the neat camera angles, Italian scenery, and seductive cinematography put this a cut above average. The finale is fantastic—with Anita Strindberg in one of the sexiest damsel in distress sequences ever.
